# Chapter 1. The The KDE Control Center

The The KDE Control Center (from now on referred to simply as "the control center") provides you with a centralized and convenient way to configure all of your KDE settings.

The control center is made up of multiple modules. Each module is a sperate application, but the control center organizes all of these programs into a convenient location.

| Each control center module can be executed individually See section entitled Running individual control center modules for more information.

The KDE Control Center groups the configuration modules into categories, so they are easy to locate. Within each category, the control center shows all the modules in a list, so it is easier to find the right configuration module.
